Travel by steam train; having to close the window (by pulling on large leather strap), when it went through tunnels, to avoid the compartment being filled with soot.
Travel on trams, and being passed chips through the window from friends in the tram in front.

Aladdin paraffin stoves, that made a burbling sound, and lit up a pattern on the bedroom ceiling.
